Jerome Feltz: Media begat Trump

Regarding Dana Milbank’s Feb. 27 column “Donald Trump’s ‘Captain Underpants’ campaign”: Donald Trump and his advisers learned from the print and TV media that one needs to lower himself to get the public’s attention. They also learned that in politics the most important issue is to get in print or on TV. Trump is a creation of the newspapers and TV media chasing after ratings and not journalism.
